During its first year of availability, upgrades to Windows 10 will be offered for

The overlying goal of Windows 10 is to join
the WindowsPC,Windows Phone,Windows EmbeddedandXbox Oneproduct families, as well as new
product categories such as the Surface Hub andHoloLens,

with keyboard docks. To improve the experience for keyboard and mouse users,
Windows 10 adds a new revision of the desktopStart menuand avirtual desktopsystem, and it allowsmodern appsto
